Parts Needed to Replace Wiring On Car Tow Dolly
Question:
I have a car dolly that the wiring is bad. I would like to know if you had any products that will work with my car dolly. Thank you

The replacement needed will depend on which trailer connector your car dolly uses, a 4 pole or a 7-way.
For a 4-pole, a standard trailer wiring harness like # HM48240 would work well for you.
If the tow dolly has a 7-way connector on it with electric brakes, I'd go with something like # 277-000141 to provide the trailer connector and junction box. The junction box allows you a safe spot to make your connections that will keep moisture away from the wiring connections. You'd use a length of wire like # 10-1-1 to run your brake circuit from the junction box to the brake magnets and # SWC4332-1 (sold by the foot) 3-conductor wire for the lighting circuits.
I'll link you to a help article about trailer wiring that you'll likely find helpful.
